Probable broch in Thurso, Caith-ness, consisting of a grass-covered mound 5m high close to a farmhouse; one side of the mound has been demolished for material for the farm buildings [2]. A section of the wall was exposed in 1910 and was 4.58m (15ft) thick [2]. Fragments of the outer face are still visible [1]. The site exhibits the 'mound on mound' structure in three levels [3].
